Okay here is the problem. The patient is a 14-year-old female who has had multiple anterior shoulder dislocations within a four-week time frame. All reduced by another physician in another hospital. My doc sees the patient in the emergency room for another dislocation. He takes her to surgery to reduce the shoulder. The shoulder reduces but when he sits her up it dislocates again. Since patient already has appointment for the next day with a shoulder surgeon in yet another city he halted further attempts at reduction and just placed her an immobilizer.
Question: I can bill for the reduction, but do I need to use a 53 modifier on this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zoe
